[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] Doug, If what you are saying is true then Africans would never have militated--both politically and militarily--for "independence" from Europe's colonial powers. Despite the influence of mission schools which down-graded traditional religions many leaders emerged who militated for "independence". The colonially compliant leaders were the ones the Colonial Powers endorsed to lead their countries, the non-compliant ones were jailed and/or assassinated. Examples:Lumumba(murdered by Belgium and the U.S. by way of Mobutu), Mondlane, Garang, Biko, Moumie( poisoned by the French at a Swiss airport), Cabral, etc. Wars were fought in Algeria, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea Bissau, Kenya, Namibia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Congo, etc. Nkrumah had serious plans for development but was overthrown by a military coup with the blessings of Britain and the U.S. Little progress is being made because the independent African nations are overwhelmed by massive corruption and little considerations for the rights of their citizens by the ruling political classes. It is doubtful that the massive corruption derives from the West. Just pure human agency and a huge contempt for the poorer citizens of the African nations. Consider how elections are rigged(Kenya, etc) or how Presidents seek to overturn their legal mandates(Congo, Burundi, etc.). [/QB][/QUOTE]
